Pros

It was an easy job where you can have fun and get paid. If you make friends with the people you work with, time can really fly. I think it was a great place to start working. I began as a bagger, then moved to cashier, then to customer service. By the time I left I was making 8.50 per hour which I was really happy with. I put in about 3 years with them from age 16 to 18.

Cons

At times it can be very boring and annoying. Sometimes you are expected to stand behind your register for long periods of time even if no one is in the store. Management can be a pain about giving time off but like I said, if you make friends with the people you work with they can take your shifts for you.
